1.And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.

Manifesting teaches that whatever a person desires they should pursue speak or visualize until it becomes reality. This belief assumes that desire itself is good and that whatever someone wants must be worth having. The Bible teaches the opposite. Scripture warns that human desire is not a safe guide. It must be examined filtered and submitted to God.

A key problem with manifesting is that it teaches people to focus on getting what they want without considering what God wants. In the Bible the foundation of a relationship with God is surrender and submission. Manifesting removes that foundation and replaces it with self-directed desire. Instead of “Thy will be done” it becomes “My will be done.”

Modern manifesting constantly uses language such as ask the universe trust the universe or the universe will send it to you. This teaching encourages people to place trust in an impersonal force rather than in the living God who created the heavens and the earth. The Bible never instructs believers to communicate with or receive provision from the universe. Instead it points directly to God as the source of all things.

One of the most dangerous aspects of manifesting is that it echoes the first temptation in human history. In the Garden of Eden, the serpent tempted Eve not merely to disobey God, but to elevate herself to a godlike status. The serpent said, “For God knows that in the day you eat of it… you will be like God” (Genesis 3:5). This was more than a temptation to sin; it was a temptation to self-exaltation, self-rule, and spiritual independence from God.

Modern manifesting teaches that a person can attract, create, or draw into their life whatever they desire by using affirmations, visualization, or mental intention. At the core of this belief is the idea that human beings have the power within themselves to shape reality without needing to seek God, submit to His authority, or align with His will. This mindset replaces dependence on God with dependence on self, which is directly against the foundation of biblical faith.

From the moment the Israelites left Egypt, danger followed them all the way. Between the Egyptian army pursuing them and the dangers in the wilderness, the Israelites were a crowd of scared, tired people. They had seen God’s power in Egypt, but they were walking into the unknown. Seeing the cloud during the day and the column of fire during the night was probably a great comfort. The pillar of cloud and fire functioned as a reminder of God’s guiding and protective care, shown in Exodus 14:19, the pillar interposed between Israel and the pursuing Egyptian army, striking fear into the camp of Egypt and encouraging the Israelites.
